Obama says Palestine must be based in 1967 borders

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is endorsing the Palestinians' demand for their future state to be based on the borders that existed
before the 1967 Middle East war, in a move that will likely infuriate Israel. Israel says the borders of a Palestinian state have to be determined
through negotiations.
In a speech outlining U.S. policy in the Middle East and North Africa, Obama on Thursday sided with the Palestinians' opening position a day ahead of
a visit to Washington by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu is vehemently opposed to referring to the 1967 borders.

Is Obama going to plea for return of North America to the Indians?
Or return of the South to the South?
California, Arizona, New Mexico and part of Texas to Mexico?
And why not also give back the original 13 colonies to Britain?
The 1967 borders are militarily indefensible. It would be suicidal for Israel to accept this proposal, as it's enemies would (and have) used these
areas as springboards to attack Israel. The country is tiny as it is, why are we asking it to give up even more land?

It's not that Palestinians aren't allowed a state, but they aren't allowed THAT state. Why can't they go somewhere else? Why do they WANT that
land? God said NO, and yet they want it, and now Obama wants to help the Palestinians? Doesn't surprise me actually.

Unfortunately this is a sign for things to come. Whenever someone gets involved with Israel, something MAJOR happens that drives their attentions away
from the issue.

What happened when Bush tried to divide Israel? Katrina, 9/11
What happened when his dad pressured Israel?
What happened when Clinton tried to do the same?

There's a long history of events that occur when someone tries to mess with Israel, like assassinations, heart attacks.. both with the US we usually
get a major catastrophic event.. is New Madrid up now thanks to Obama?

Irrellevant.

The 1967 borders are what is almost universally accepted as what the borders should be. You can't just pinch land you regard as being "more
defensible" just because you want it.

Maybe they wouldn't have so many enemies if they hadn't stolen the land in the first place, ousted the orignal inhabitants anhd massacred any that
refused to leave.

(and don't come back with the "Jews" were the orignal inhabitants, because that was 2,000 years ago. If you're going to hand land out based on
Millenia old claims, then while you're at it, lets give Germany, the UK and France back to the Celts, move the people there now to the Urals, send
the Turks back to central Asia and Mongolia and all you Yanks had better start packing your bags too. Alot of land has changed hands many times in two
millenia...

Dunno if anyone else remembers this, but I do believe that the Allies at the end of world war 2 decided to give their whiney Zionist friends a country
to live in. Oh but wait a minute now, there some people called Palestinians already living there. That don't matter because they aren't important.
For all of you who support israel through all this middle east crap really need to go to school again and brush up on your world history. Israel
doesn't belong there. It was not their land to have. And just so you know, I am not anti-semetic, I just know what I have learned.

Keep crying, no one has any sympathy for Israel anymore except shills. And it's gotten so bad that Israel is scrambling even to get all its shills
together online, with the IDF and all that.

Now that Hamas is fully united with Fatah, and 500,000 Jews still living in Israel...What a safe and rational thing for Israel to agree to; which of
course they havent...and they expect Obama to retract his demands and reaffirm the commitments made by the Bush administration in 2004...

What utter nonsense.....Its bad enough Fatah is now united with the terrorist organization Hamas...But now Obama the muslim is asking for MORE, as
oppossed to criticizing the PA for befriending this terrorist organization? Now Jews are supposed to feel safe? The 500,000 Jews in Judea and
Samaria.. This is "defencible borders"? ..Whats going to happen to them Obama?
